It’s said when it comes to finding love “Every pot has a lid.” If that’s true, I guess that’s why I’m a colander. It’s bad enough being perpetually single 364 days of the year, but being single on Valentine’s Day is like pouring salt in a raw wound and rubbing it with sandpaper while listening
You had three minutes to get to class. A hundred-eighty seconds to rush from room to room, always on the opposite sides of campus – do-able, as long as you didn’t have to fetch something from a locker or another spot. Do-able, if you could run fast, leap over crouching freshmen, and dodge slow-moving teachers.
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and while some of us hard-hearted folks consider it a fluffy “Hallmark” holiday, the more romantically minded may be planning a lovely celebration of love. Usually, it’s on the gentlemen to treat the ladies on Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean women can’t step to the plate with a thoughtful

After reading about the different
Spring will be here before we know it, and now is the time to begin planning your 2022 garden. Start thinking about which vegetables, fruits, and/or flowers you want for the coming year. Once decided, you can begin preparing your seeds. The first step is deciding which type of container you want to use. There
Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” is famously plagued by a curse — a frightening series of mishaps, injuries, and deaths going all the way back to the play’s first staging in 1610. We don’t have space to go into all that here (just google “curse of Macbeth”), but perhaps this is one reason why it’s proven perilously difficult
When I first started writing for the Webb, I was never worried about what I would write about each week. I’ve always loved to write. I must get that from my gram, Lois Liddick. But let’s turn the clocks back to when I was in high school. Ugh, school. I never loved school because I
Have you ever left the hair salon feeling emotional, in a bad way? I’ve suffered many a regrettable haircut, mostly in my teens and twenties, and after the birth of my second child, when I thought bangs were a good idea. Regardless of what phase of life you are in, a bad hairstyle is uncomfortable
